"The dying Lion of Lucerne" is one of the world's most famous monuments.It was carved out of natural rock in memory of the heroic deaths of the Swiss mercenaries at the Tuileries in 1792. Mark Twain described the Lion of Lucerne as the saddest and most moving piece of rock in the world.

The entire route to Jungfrau was unimaginably wonderful. It was an engineer marvel to lay tracks with tunnels and stations at around 11,500 feet; the highest railway track in Europe.

Traumbach Falls was an other amazing experience...The water fall is the Glacier water from the 12 Glaciers, and is the only waterfall which is in the mountain caves and is still accessible to tourists!
